DEVER DELIGHT

HE might have been fishing ‘blind' but Terry Todd-Smith had
no trouble seeing what his speculative cast had brought him when this 21 lb 6oz
brown trout emerged from the depths at Dever Springs recently.

It was a personal best for the Kent angler (beating his
previous record by over 9lb) and it fell to a Blue-flash Damsel, exposing
Terry's backing line a few times in the fight that ensued.

The fish mercifully waited until it was netted before
dislodging the hook...

MONEYGOES TO
WORK

THE Angling Trust has announced that an additional £50,000
is up for grabs later this summer, courtesy of the Environment Agency's rod
licence sales.

Following a first round of funding earlier this year, the
Fishery Improvement Fund will again be offering awards of up to £5,000 per
project. This time, proposals are invited in two categories of the National
Angling Strategy 'Fishing for Life': either 'getting kids into fishing' or
'protecting fish stocks from predation'.

Clubs and organisations need not be Angling Trust members or
Angling Trust-affiliated to be eligible to apply and proposals from commercial
fisheries are also welcomed. Clubs and fisheries that were unsuccessful in
Round 1, but have a continuing need for funding in these two areas, are welcome
to apply again with a rimfire scope.

Eligibility criteria and details of how to apply are
available to view and download from the Angling Trust's dedicated Fishery
Improvement Fund web page www.anglingtrust.net/improvementfund.

Applications should be emailed to reach the Angling Trust by
the close of business on Monday July 13,2015, and successful organisations must
be able to spend the award by no later than the end of August.

Sarah Chare, head of fisheries at the Environment Agency, said:
"The Fishery Improvement Fund is just one way the Environment Agency uses
rod licence money to work with partners to benefit angling. The first phase saw
some really good projects given money: from new fish refuges and revitalising
disused stretches of river to improving access and creating new angling venues.Guest post of Matthew Schade from Hunting-Tips.Net.
